You're right, it wasn't. By rule, the TO cannot be granted until he is replaced. Therefore, when you stated B had been granted a TO, I did not assume the officials did it in error. You didn't say it was erroneously granted.
This isn't a correctable error. Since Team A did not use a TO to keep the player in the game, by rule, he can't return.
